Dear Domer, just saw a man I’m talking to on an exclusive dating app, though we met on Hinge. I get being on both apps, but is it weird to like him on one app when we already have a conversation from another?
Dear Domer, if you already have him hooked on one app, no need to switch to another! Get his number instead, and talk on there. Hope this helps!
Dear Domer. I secretly enjoy when ND loses a football game. I’m like a dementor thriving on the negative emotions. I know it’s wrong, but I love it. How can I try to change?
Dear Domer, maybe spend some time watching the “Here Come the Irish” docuseries (not sponsored) or doing some research on the actual players to humanize them. We obviously are rooting for them because they play for ND and have sacrificed a lot to get here. They’re people too! Hope this helps, you sociopath!
Dear Domer. This season of the year is the best for finance bros to sport their quarter zips. I want to lean in hard to the stereotypical finance bro lifestyle. What other tips do you have?
Dear Domer, you can’t go wrong with an overpriced backpack (Briggs & Riley, TUMI, etc.), a VEST to throw into your wardrobe, some beige J. Crew pants and some Sperry’s/business casual shoes. Go forth and be great!
Dear Domer, my boyfriend accesses his photos via the camera app (he REFUSES to use the photo app). It’s the most Boomer thing ever. How do I get him to stop?
Dear Domer, my mom does this too. I don’t really know how to help her besides telling her like it is. When he’s asleep, delete/hide/offload the camera app on his phone, and that will force him to use the photos app. Let me know how it goes!
Dear Domer. These streaming services are running out of content. It’s all B-O-R-I-N-G. Can you recommend a good show?
Dear Domer, you came to the right place. I am currently devouring “Scandal” on Netflix. If you want something good, watch “How to Get Away With Murder,” “Shameless,” “Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad,” “YOU,” “Designated Survivor,” “Maid,” “Ozark,” “Killing Eve,” “Good Girls” or “Bojack Horseman.” All of the aforementioned shows are on Netflix. If you want something funny, “Insecure” (Max) or “Big Mouth” (Netflix) are great options. If you’re into some trashy reality TV, you can’t go wrong with “Basketball Wives!”
Dear Domer, is having a boyfriend embarrassing?
Dear Domer, and I will scream this to high Heaven, NO!!!! There is NOTHING embarrassing about being in love. People are bored and make anything “cheugy” and uncool. Dare I call them haters and jealous?
